Hi Bill, I'm a bit confused here. I was told as part of my Psychology and Counselling course, that I should turn on macros, in order to get best use of the study texts I have to read. I would think these macros should be safe. Do I still need to follow your steps, if I just want to turn macros on? In addition, if I do turn on macros, will this only be file or site specific, or allow all macros? At the moment, I am only trying to access the study materials for my course and not every macro I might come across. thanks a lot Jason
